Among the creations for Christmas and the 2023 festivities, Maison Caffet wins our gourmet award for being totally accessible. It's said that the people of Troy are hungrier than Parisians! We have our doubts, but we have to admit that the logs offered by Maison Caffet are not only delicious, but also generous. Logs for 4-6 people that make 10 for us - we'll take them! And then, of course, with their addictive praline, we succumb.
From December 1, 2023, these delights will be available to delight our taste buds and our eyes. Celebrating the theme " Lumières Boréales et Féérie des Fêtes ", these pastry works are an invitation to travel to the magic of Lapland winter.
Pascal Caffet, a name synonymous with high standards and quality, never ceases to delight gourmets. An unwavering commitment to authenticity guides the Maison Caffet, where pastries are produced with uncompromising taste, regardless of quantity. The approach is praised by Caffet's right-hand man, Jean-Christophe Jeanson, underlining the team's consistency and rigor, reminiscent of great houses such as Lenôtre.
In the run-up to Christmas, the house unveils its Aurora Advent Calendar, a gourmet ode to patience, featuring marshmallow bears, rochers, cookies and a variety of chocolates. Available from November 1 for 105€.
Among this year's star creations is the"Lueurs Boréales" entremets, a cake that's sure to create a sensation on your table. This creation pays tribute to the snow-covered nature and northern lights of Lapland. Crunchy flaked almonds, dark and wild fruit compote, fromage blanc mousse and 3-chocolate decor await you. Count 115€ for 12 to 16 people.
One of our favorites is the "Equinoxe" rolled vanilla log. Imagine an ultra-moist cookie married to a vanilla cream with inserts of almond and pecan praline buttercream - it's a real treat! Count €54 for a log for 6 to 8 people.
The collection also includes pastry logs with evocative names: Inari, Kittilä, or Merveilleuse, each creation a gustatory tableau that reflects the spirit of the festive season. For those who prefer freshness, iced logs such as "Émotion Glacée" and "Intuition Givrée" add a refreshing touch to festive meals. Prices start at €42.90 per log.
For New Year's Eve, " La Nouvelle Ère " entremets and " Banquise Stylisée " bouchée à partager are the perfect companions for a gourmet countdown to the New Year. Count 69€ for the entremets.
All these marvels can be found in Paris boutiques and on the online store from November 1st for chocolates and calendars, and December 1st for pastries, enabling everyone to treat themselves or others to a moment of gustatory enchantment. With family or friends, it's the perfect way to indulge in a blend of tradition and innovation - we love it!
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
